. . . . . . . . . . . My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences. Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”. Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook. Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.This week’s
ARIA CHARTSParamore powers to the top
Miley nabs five weeks at #1
American rock band Paramore take out the top spot on the ARIA Albums Chart this week with This Is Why, while Miley Cyrus’ grip on the #1 singles spot with Flowers shows no sign of wilting.
Pushing aside Taylor Swift’s Midnights, This Is Why is Paramore’s first album since After Laughter in 2017, which peaked at #3. They have scored two #1 albums in Australia: Brand New Eyes in 2009 and Paramore in 2013.
Miley’s reign at the top of the ARIA Singles Chart could be under threat, as PinkPantheress’ Boy’s A Liar flies to #3 from #25 last week. It’s the English singer, songwriter and record producer’s first hit in Australia.
Also stepping in the top 10 for the first time are Miguel’s Sure Thing at #7 (it originally peaked at #11 in 2011) and Coi Leray’s Players at #8. It’s Coi’s first hit single here and Miguel’s second top 10, following his 2013 teaming with Mariah Carey on #Beautiful, which topped out at #6.
Recent visitor to Australia, Fred Again.., is on the move with Delilah (pull me out of this) jumping from #37 to #25.
